Since when does Chicago have the same exact same forecast/weather as Galena?

It very rarely does at the same time. But in general Chicago gets the same weather that is west of us, some hours later. Like how tornadoes that hit Rockford first then come to Plainfield, and like that. Looks as though this storm went a little north to Wisconsin, though.

robertv here is even more of a mindblower for you. In general, Chicago gets the same weather that Montana had, only two days later! Is that weird, or what?
